Hi,
I would like to define, in JSON, a link that provides a way to add a
new resource to a collection of resources. I'm considering this:
"link": {
"href": "/photos/",
"type": "image/tiff",
"method": "POST",
"rel": "new",
"title": "Add new photo"}
I'd appreciate any comments on the link representation above. In
particular I'm interested in suggestions for the relation type - I use
"new" above. I've seen "new" being used in similar cases but it's not
an officially registered relation type here:
* http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xml
* http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#h-6.12
* http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values
And there's no registered relation type with new/add/append-like
semantics. Well maybe "create-form" on the mircroformats page, but
that doesn't really seem appropriate.
/Paul
